I know that tune, I used to play a clapping game with it when at 'infant'

'My boyfriend gave me an apple, my boyfriend gavbe me a pear, my boyfriend
gave me a kiss on the lips and threw me down the stair-air-airs. I gave him
back the apple, I gave him back the pair, I gave him back the kiss on the
lips and threw him down the stair-air-airs'.

Sounds like that couple needs couples counseling.

But did the tune go like this:

I'm still trying to identify the song that tune went with.

She named him Tiny Tim,
She put him in the bathtub,
To see if he could swim.

Look up a wonderful book called "Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts" by Josepha
Sherman. this wonder anthropologist put together a compendium of
children's "subversive" rhymes, and this Miss Lucy piece is in there
along with with such classics as "Johnny Had a Steamboat" and all the
morbid variations of the Barney the Dinosaur theme ("I love you, you
love me, let's hang Barney from a tree..." Kids can be warped.

Yes!

So does the "Lucy had a baby, she called it Tiny Tim" clapping song. I think
that tune has been used so much in vaudville humour (I can see canes
tapping, boater hats wagging, eybrows wiggling and cigars that aren't
smoked) that it has many many different lyrics.

I can almost remember a very lewd set of lyrics to the same tune, but for
the life of me can't get them from my brain to the keyboard.

I'm still trying to identify the song that tune went with.

Might be an everyone-knows-the-tune-noone-knows-the-name type tunes :-)

Play it with DH. The cats may attack your dreidel but the chocolate
is safe from their interest.-

I'd love to see the destruction they'd release upon the innocent
dreidel! Stosh loves to hunt a you-yo in mid-yo. I've seen them go
after dice as well. This could be the newest interactive playtime in
our multi-cultural home!

Blessed be,

Ah, and that ends with "shave and a haircut - two bits"?

That's quite possible...

PS - I can just hear the tune this ditty goes to, but I can't remember
the name of the song, if I ever even knew it.

I have a little dreidel
I made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready
Then dreidel I shall play!

Oy, I'll have this in my head for quite some time! It's ironic that
such an admirer of Jewish culture as I, have never played dreidel nor
sung that cute little song. I have, however heard it many times on one
of the other cultural avenues I deeply admire, "South Park."

OY!!!

chocolate coins in gold wrapping. I dunno what other folks use

As a dissenting view, I have to say that the chocolate used in
"Chanukah gelt" is just about the worst chocolate I've ever eaten.
I hate that stuff! And I'm a chocoholic with pretty cheap taste
(eg, I love Hershey's), so it's not out of snobbery that I reject
the Chanukah gelt. It's just weird-tasting stuff.

Play it with DH. The cats may attack your dreidel but the chocolate
is safe from their interest.

I wish I could say that was true of my cats - if I eat a chocolate
cookie, Roxy is very interested, and I have to be pretty careful not
to let her get a piece of it!
